What a cheating husband

After noon, the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law of all the courtyards mobilized collectively to move out all the chicken, duck and fish slaughtered two days ago and pile them into the big stove.

This New Year's Eve dinner is also very particular. In previous years, Chen Qing would cook two meat dishes, four hot-fried dishes, two cold pot dishes, one plate of dim sum and one roasted fish dish at his uncle's house, which meant perfection.

Marrying into the Liang family this year is an eye-opener, and there are so many specialties in this reunion dinner.Not only must there be big dishes, cold pots, stir-fried dishes, snacks, but also a hot pot, a dish with fish at the head and tail.

The hot pot is boiling, steaming hot, warm and sultry, which means it is booming. The homophony of "fish" and "yu" symbolizes "more than auspicious", and radish is commonly known as Caitou, wishing good luck.Fried food such as lobster, fried fish, etc., I wish the family luck is prosperous like "cooking oil with fire".

It took two hours to prepare 18 hot dishes, 6 cold dishes, and 4 seafood dishes. The charcoal basin under the copper hot pot was burning vigorously, and the remaining pastries and raw food were kept aside for use at any time.

When everything was ready, Chen Qing wiped off her sticky sweat, greeted Mrs. Zhou, and gave Liang Zijun a look of going home.Liang Zijun grinned, and at night he was finally willing to take out the new suit for him to wear.

Upon returning home, Chen Qing first took out a cloth bag from the firewood room and handed it to Liang Zijun, then went into the bedroom of the main room, took a set of brocade blouses, and washed them in the bathroom.Liang Zijun didn't wait for Chen Qing to leave, he hurriedly opened the cloth bag, carrying the said beautiful new clothes, he couldn't see his eyes with a smile.

"It's really as good-looking as the second sister-in-law said." Liang Zijun groped carefully for the cloud-like embroidery patterns of the same color. This kind of embroidery looks good, but it is too taxing for the eyes. Chen Qing can embroider such a new clothes for him. Pretend to be yourself.

Liang Zijun put on a whole new outfit in a stinky way, and turned around twice in front of Chen Qing beautifully, "How is it? I won't spoil your craftsmanship by wearing this suit."

Chen Qing's eyes lit up, the moon-white outer shirt with cloud patterns and square chess patterns really suited Liang Zijun's temperament, the whole set of clothes matched each other, and the feet were spinning on the clouds, as if he was about to fly, very handsome.

"With my figure, I can wear a sack with a different style." Liang Zijun winked at Chen Qing shyly.

Chen Qing has a black face, this person is really flirtatious, he should wear that pheasant suit to show off.Chen Qing originally wanted to embroider a peacock with its tail open for Liang Zijun to carry on his back, but it was a pattern on official uniforms, and civilians were not allowed to embroider it, so Chen Qing had to embroider a pheasant to bury Liang Zijun, but once the picture was embroidered, it felt more appropriate .

Years ago, he was busy with various affairs, so he only had a little free time every day, so he hadn't finished embroidering the pheasant douyan, but let him put on this one first, and he could not stop talking about it.

Chen Qing gave him a hard look, and said to go quickly, Liang Zijun took a step forward to hold him, dangled the streamer in front of Chen Qing's eyes, and quickly tied it on for him, then threw up his sleeves and went out first.

"Cut~" Chen Qing didn't bother to argue with him, even if he walked in front, it wasn't the master, so he was allowed to show off in front.

On New Year's Eve, a table is filled with sumptuous New Year's dishes, layer upon layer, and the whole family gathers around the table to have a reunion dinner together.

The folks have the habit of keeping the year old on New Year's Eve, and the common name is "boil the year".Shousui begins with the New Year's Eve dinner, and the door must be closed tightly, and it is taboo to be disturbed by outsiders. If someone comes to visit, it is called "stepping on the New Year's dinner", which will make the whole family feel uneasy.This New Year's Eve dinner should be eaten slowly, starting from the time when the lights are lit, and eating until late at night.

After the reunion dinner, the younger generation should pay New Year's greetings to the elders, and the elders should distribute the lucky money received in advance to the younger generation. It is said that the lucky money can suppress evil spirits.

"Two years in one night, two days at five o'clock", after the New Year's Eve dinner and New Year's money, the whole family lit oil lamps, sat around the stove and chatted, waiting for the time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.The old people keep the old age as "farewell to the old year", which means to cherish the time, and the young people keep the old age to prolong the life of their parents.

Both Liang Baida and Liang Posong received the "New Year's money" from the juniors, and happily distributed it to the two girls and Liang Zijun, and even the newcomer Chen Qing received one.As the head of the Liang family, Liang Baida smiled and said a few auspicious words, while retelling the taboos and legends about the New Year for the younger generation.

This kind of folk tale passed down from generation to generation is passed down to this day precisely because the older generation retells it every year.Because of the rigorous demeanor of the elders, the younger generation will listen attentively even after listening to it several times, so as to avoid conflicting with the elders and ghosts.

Chen Qing has heard the legends about "Xi" many times since she was a child, but she can also find some differences in them.Due to the oral tradition of each family, there are many discrepancies in the details, but the results are roughly the same without too much deviation.

The population of each story is different, so the level of interest in the story is also different.Liang Baida was quite good at storytelling, and he told "Qilang Shexi" fascinatingly, with ups and downs. Chen Qing listened with his chin propped up, and even Liang Zijun's sneak attack did not pay attention immediately.

Liang Zijun took advantage of the New Year to play tricks wantonly, even if he behaved inappropriately, he would at most get two stares. No elder would blame the younger at this time.

On the morning of the Spring Festival, when the doors are open, firecrackers are set off first, which is called "opening firecrackers".After the sound of firecrackers, broken red is all over the ground, as bright as clouds and brocades, which is called "full house red".At this time, the streets are full of auspiciousness and joy.

On the first day of the new year, people put on new clothes, dress neatly, go out to visit relatives and friends, and wish each other a happy new year.

There are various ways to pay New Year's greetings. In some cases, the head of the same clan leads several people to visit the New Year's greetings from house to house; in some cases, several people are invited to visit;

On the first day of the new year, Liang Zixian took his three brothers to the village chief's house to pay New Year's greetings.Because Liang's family is a landlord, and relatives in the same village have more blessings, not many people come to pay New Year's greetings, and the brothers just sit for a while in the homes of several senior Liang elders in the same village. The people in the family village did not dare to bear it.

You need to be vegetarian on the first day of the new year, which accounts for the age.Folks use the clear weather in the first few days of Xinzheng to predict the harvest of this year.One day is the rooster day, two days are dogs, three days are pigs, four days are sheep, fifth days are cows, six days are horses, seven days are humans, and eight days are grains.If the day is sunny, the host's things will multiply, and if the day is cloudy, the host's things will not prosper.

Gathering wealth on the first day of the lunar new year is also the birthday of the broom. You can’t use the broom on this day, otherwise you will sweep away luck and lose money, and attract the "broom star", which will lead to bad luck. If you have to sweep, you need to sweep from the outside to the inside.On this day, you can't pour water outside to take out the garbage, for fear of losing money.

The second day of the first lunar month is Uncle’s Day. Uncles will go to pay New Year’s greetings to their father-in-law’s family. They will stay for dinner at noon. Uncles and daughters must return to their homes before dinner. If the journey is far away, they can also stay and finish dinner.

Shao Fengzhi, Li Hongmei, their husband and daughter hurried into the car after eating early in the morning, and they also carried a lot of New Year's gifts in their hands.

Brother Yang got up late, and after he got up, he hurriedly packed his things.Liang Zixian took advantage of his deep sleep to load all the presents into the car, and only waited for him to wake up before he could get in the car and start his journey.Liang Zixian made fun of him, but he kindly urged him to eat quickly.

Seeing this, Chen Qing felt the same way, and couldn't help thinking about her own sister.Originally wanted to visit Chen Bi years ago, but was delayed due to embroidery. If they visit each other on the fifth day of the new year, they are both brides and Chen Qing is an older brother.

Chen Qing's reluctance to Chen Bi's visit was because she was afraid that Liang Zijun would have some wrong intentions. Although it was a done deal and they were married, there was no guarantee that Liang Zijun would not hold grudges and deliberately make things difficult.So Chen Qing specially wrote to ask her to go to Wanliutun to visit her after the fifteenth day.

Once the three families left, a courtyard was left deserted.In the bustling courtyard, only two old couples and a young couple were left silently looking at each other. Liang Zijun coughed secretly, and simply grabbed his sleeves to invite everyone to play cards.Chen Qing served tea and water to the side, and occasionally picked some home-cooked mountain products as snacks for several people.

In less than an hour, Liang Zitong and her husband returned home to pay New Year's greetings. The son-in-law came to the house and there was a lot of excitement. When Liang Miao and his wife arrived home, the Liang Baida and his wife beamed with joy. The dinner table was full of laughter.

Chen Qing and her two aunts made the lunch, and the two daughters who went back to their parents' house could sneak back and eat ready-made ones.

The third day of junior high school is a courtesy visit by relatives and friends. The peers only need to bow their hands. If they are older than themselves, they should still take the initiative to kneel down and worship. The host should step down from the seat and show humility.In this situation, it is generally not suitable to sit for a long time, and it is necessary to leave after a few polite words.After the host is worshipped, he should choose a day to return to worship.

On the third day of junior high school, the door god paper is burned to show that the year is over and it is time to start making a living again.Liang Zijun ran to lie down in the county on the third day of junior high school to discuss the opening of the shop, and hurriedly brought gifts to his husband for New Year greetings.Liao Fanzhi and other students are all gathered in the academy at this moment, saving everyone's time and gathering directly to worship.

From the first to the fourth day of the new year, it is the days of New Year's carnival, and it is not until the fifth day that normal life resumes.The fifth day of the lunar new year is also called "Bao Wu". Many taboos before can be broken on this day.Dumplings are eaten on the fifth day of the lunar new year, and women are no longer taboo, and start visiting each other to pay New Year's greetings.Newly married women return to Ning on this day.The custom of breaking the five is mainly to send off the "poor god", welcome the god of wealth, and open businesses.

After the fifth watch, Liang Zijun personally offered incense to take back the Five Gods of Wealth, and asked the shopkeeper of Wanda to follow the rules for the rest.

The gods of wealth are: Zhao Gongming, the god of literature and wealth, Tao Zhugong, who makes money wisely, Guan Gong, who is loyal and faithful, Pian Wealth, who attracts wealth and wealth, and the quasi-God of Wealth, who distributes money to help the poor.The five-way god is commonly known as the god of wealth, and the five-way god refers to the five directions in the east, west, south, north, and middle. It means that if you go out with the blessing of the five-way god, you can get good luck and make a fortune.

Every year on the fifth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the Five-way God of Wealth, before dawn, you can hear bursts of firecrackers.The sooner you grab the road (to meet the God of Wealth), the better. Prepare fruits, cakes, pig heads and other sacrificial supplies, and invite the God of Wealth to drink.At that time, the host will hold joss sticks and go to the five Gods of Wealth halls in the southeast, northwest, and central areas to meet the God of Wealth. After the five Gods of Wealth have gathered together, they will hang up the paper horses of the God of Wealth, light the incense candles, and worship.

Liang Zijun finished the opening of the business, and rushed home as soon as the city gate opened. This year when they got married, the bride would rush back to her mother's house on the fifth day of the new year. Liang Zijun was afraid of delaying things, so he rushed to the north gate as soon as the paper horse was burned.
